Project Overview
Ross Sutter has a degree in Music Education and nearly thirty years experience working in schools all over the Midwest and in Europe. Ross loves to sing American and northern European songs for children. He plays an array of folk instruments—guitar, bodhran, button accordion, limberjack, and dulcimer. He has performed on radio, television and at festivals, and works regularly in schools teaching the songs and folk dances that he has collected over the years. His rapport with children is extraordinary, but he also possesses the unique ability to thoroughly entertain the parents and adults in the audience as well. Ross explores and entertains with songs that tell a story or can be found in books in the library.

Measurable Outcome(s)
The show was full of energy. The children as a group enjoyed participating in the program. They enjoyed clapping along, dancing, and singing with Ross. Some of the older boys did not want to participate, but were drawn in by Ross. One did an excellent job on the limberjack, and eventually the others were wanting to take part also.
